 this morning to look up /). Kirtlandi 

 and had five males in my basket be- 

 fore 9 o'clock. No females found so I 

 suppose they are setting very close — 

 no nests found yet. Have found nest 

 with two young of the Gt. Northern 

 Shrike; young are full fledged, nest 

 not very bulky, built in pine tree. 



We shall expect a more extended 

 sketch of this trip by Michigan's well 

 known " warbler man" for our next 

 issue." 



Just after this issue had gone to 

 press Mr. Wood returned home from 

 his trip north in quest of the Kirt- 

 land's Warblerwith gratifying success, 

 having obtained a tine series of skins. 



male, female, nestlings, full-fledged 

 young, nest and eggs. 



Mr. Wood also obtained some two 

 dozen photographs of the birds ( in 

 life ; and their nests. The material pf 

 this trip prepared by Mr. Wood and 

 illustrated by the photographs, will be 

 given to our readers in the third issue. 

 The editor also hopes to be able to give 

 a colored plate -of' the egg." ,\ ■,,:
